Chapter 889: The Faces of All Beings on the Oscars (Part II)
People have to die compared to others, and goods have to be thrown away, the original intention is to let people learn to be satisfied, not to be too demanding. But in Hollywood, this is a table of no enterprising, where everyone is like a fighter for the sake of fame and fortune, and while working hard to improve their strength, they have to fight, trade or sharpen their heads all the time.
Here, as long as you succeed, no one will care about the dirtiness before you succeed. If you fail, then I'm sorry, even if you are a moral gentleman, no one remembers your nobility. Perhaps only the Oscars, which are voted for by 6,000 members, can generally guarantee its fairness and will not let the powerful people or films lose or suffer. Of course, if the strength of the two is equal, then they have to fight for the connections and financial resources of both sides, and the public relations company has to lobby around with millions or tens of millions of public relations fees, but it is impossible for the public relations company to send a bad movie and bad actor to the podium in any case.
When Nicole Kidman covered her delicate red lips and burst into tears amid the warm applause of the audience, her blue eyes like sea water were full of tears of excitement. There is only one thought in my heart - I have finally succeeded, become a truly great actor, and finally stand at the peak of actors!
Like Ken Watanabe earlier, Nicole stepped on the stage as if stepping on cotton, and received the glittering 72nd Oscar for Best Actress from Roberto Bernini, who was a head shorter than herself. Nicole with tears in her eyes? Kidman, standing on the palatial stage, looked at the black and oppressive guests in the audience, especially the handsome face of his ex-husband, and suddenly had an indescribable happiness.
"Thank you...... Finally, I have to thank Mrs. Tom Hanks, dear Mrs. Rita Wilson. When I was lying in a hospital bed and everyone didn't trust me, she was standing firmly by my side. Thank you, Rita! ā
The audience was stunned for a moment, and then the audience burst into laughter, in that turmoil, Rita sneered at Cruise in front of reporters, saying that you can't be too despicable and shameless. Later facts also proved that Tom Hanks was an innocent, pervasive entertainment journalist, and he did not catch Nicole Kidman's possible lover.
Fortunately, Nicole Kidman knew that tens of millions of people were watching the live broadcast, and she didn't take the opportunity to sneer at her embarrassing ex-husband on the big screen.
Seeing his ex-wife holding the little golden figure in high spirits, hugging and sticking to his face everywhere, his ex-husband Tom Cruise felt that everyone was laughing at him, and he couldn't wait to leave this place that embarrassed him immediately.
Fortunately, Sun Ziming saved him, and in a round of applause, the little golden man for the best director of the 72nd Oscar let Sun Ziming pick it up again without any suspense. If this were a European film award, Sam Mendes and his "American Beauty" might still have a chance of winning, but this is Hollywood. Here, both business and art are emphasized, and the gap between the box office of 70 million and 200 million is too big, and even if the audience doesn't understand "The Last Samurai", its artistic value and ideological connotation are not inferior to "American Beauty". In particular, the images in the film that exude oriental charm are enough to fascinate the audience and the judges.
Jill next to Sun Ziming also breathed a sigh of relief, the bad thing he expected didn't happen, and the boss was still the omnipotent boss!
And Sun Ziming, who won the award, was full of emotion, he could win this award, maybe there is a reason why everyone doesn't say it, his 10 billion dollar donation has raised himself to the moral high ground. The thinking of Americans is simple, there must be villains and heroes in this world. Since it is a hero, everyone has to applaud the hero.
"Thank you, all ......, and finally my friend Cruise. As we all know, there are two versions of "The Last Samurai", and the version that was finally released was re-edited under the construction of Cruise. ā
Sun Ziming's speech made the audience applaud warmly, and Tom Cruise in the audience also felt much more comfortable. Fa Ge, who is not far away, is sincerely happy for his friends, but also lamenting his bad luck, if "Shawshank" hadn't encountered damn racial discrimination, maybe he could have taken a little golden man home. Hey, "Shawshank", "Shawshank", if that film is put on this session, I'm afraid that except for the best actress and supporting actress, the rest will be whichever one you want to win! Of course, Sun Ziming also speculated maliciously that maybe Sam is a rookie director, and "American Beauty" is his debut film, which is very, very important!
And Li Zhi and Li Yingai in the front row looked at Sun Ziming on the stage with pride on their faces, and they were honored in their hearts. His success also represents his own success. He may not be able to accept the award on stage in his or her lifetime, but his or her child can proudly tell others that his or her father is the greatest director in the world!
Walking off the stage with the golden golden man, Sun Ziming happily hugged and shook hands with the people who congratulated him, and did not forget to go and hug Cruise who was sitting in the crew of "Magnolia".
"Cruise, thank you for building it in the first place."
Tom Cruise let out his sunniest and handsome smile and said calmly: "Hehe, fortunately I didn't mess it up!" When I first built you yƬ, I was afraid of being ridiculed by you. ā
Sun Ziming smiled in his ear and whispered: "Yes, my acting skills have improved again." It's a show, who the cares what people say? ā
Indeed, who cares who says what? The audience is forgetful, and Hollywood is a place where heroes are judged by success or failure!
After another wonderful but lengthy dance on stage, Clint Eastwood, who was already the mayor of Mel, walked onto the stage with an envelope of the winners of Best Picture. Clint looked at Sun Ziming, who had just sat down in the audience, and felt a little mixed in his heart.
Eight years ago, "Unforgiven" was nailed to the pillar of historical shame because of that guy, and even the golden man for the best picture became a symbol of racial discrimination in Hollywood, and was made into a sculpture and placed at the entrance of the academy.
Clint looked at another yellow face, his second best director's little golden man, because of these two guys, became less golden.
God, bless them for not winning the best picture! If it weren't for the fear of being played by reporters, how would I have presented this award, in case that bastard really won the best picture, wouldn't it embarrass me?
Sun Ziming and Fa Ge looked at Clint on the stage, and also secretly scolded the organizing committee for their lack of morality, don't those bastards know that they don't deal with this guy? If it weren't for the absolute secrecy of the list, no one would know the results except those tellers and accountants. Sun Ziming and Fa Ge would be suspicious of the members of the group, and when they knew the result in advance, they deliberately asked Clint to embarrass themselves.
Of course, those bastards must have deliberately invited Clint to present the award because "The Last Samurai" won the best picture, in order to flaunt the justice and fairness of the Oscars, and by the way, increase the ratings.
The host Billy Crystal is not a good thing, knowing that Collint and Sun Ziming have their old feud, and deliberately not mentioning the pot, teasing: "Clint, what is the difference between giving people the feeling of giving awards and receiving awards yourself?" Now what would you like to say to the old friends who have been nominated? ā
Clint, who is already a politician, will not fall for Billy, and in turn jokes: "Well, what I want to say most is, friends, for the sake of me giving you awards, canvass for me to become president as soon as possible." I promise that the first thing I will do after becoming president is to build a reform of the college, and everyone who is shortlisted will be given a little golden man! ā
The audience burst into laughter, and Billy Crister echoed the laughter, and said relentlessly: "The second thing is to send a Navy SEAL team to snatch the sculpture at the entrance of the academy home?" ā
"NO, NO, I'm proud to be a symbol of Hollywood's fight against racism. The second thing should be to send the Marines to stand guard at the entrance of the academy to prevent a guy named Billy from stealing the sculpture! ā
'Hahaha', Billy laughed and said, "OK, I wish you a good president, and then see how I steal the sculpture!" ā
Clint also opened the envelope and said with a smile: "You will definitely be caught, and I will pardon you when the time comes." ā
Glancing at the pale blue letterhead, God forbid, Clint breathed a sigh of relief that the most embarrassing thing had finally not happened.
"The winner of the 72nd Academy Award for Best Picture is: "American/Beauty" (American Beauty), congratulations to the crew of "American/Beauty", you have touched everyone!"
Sun Tzuming began to applaud politely at Clint's announcement, which was to be expected. American/Beauty is truly a great movie, revealing the 'cancers' that hide in the skin of American society. If there was no "The Last Samurai" at the last moment, maybe it would have snatched away even the best director and become the biggest winner of this year's Oscars.
But Sam Menders, the director of "American Beauty", looked at Clint on the stage in disbelief and was stunned, he actually got the best picture with the most weight? This is his first movie, and he actually beat China Ming's "The Most Samurai"?
God, is this true?
It's true, when Sam took over the heavy little golden man, forgot to hug and shake hands with the award presenters, and actually wanted to start giving a thank you speech. Fortunately, the new actor Kevin? Seeing the opportunity, Spacey hurriedly whispered a reminder to shake hands with Clint, so as not to embarrass the director, who became famous in one fell swoop.
Clint also understands this feeling, being discovered by the idol in his mind, but defeating the idol in the first film, it would be strange if this situation could be like a normal person.
"Kid, you've made it! "American/Beauty" is recognized as the best! ā
"Thank you, thank you", Sam forced himself to calm down, shook hands with Clint and thanked him before going to the table to give a speech.
"Thank you.......
